Introduction
IIM Indore Library has been organizing Book Fair every year to support the information needs of IIM Indore community. The fair can reasonably claim a special status in being the only one of its kind in the area of Business & Management organized by an educational institution in the state of M.P. As a window on the frontierless world of books in diverse fields of thought, the fair gives us an opportunity to update and enlarge our vistas of knowledge. A good number of Publishers/ Publishing Agencies from all over the country participated in the Book Fair in the previous years to display several thousands of books in the field of Business, Management, Economics, Information Science, Social Sciences, and books of interest for the children. The IIM Indore community, particularly the faculty and staff members, the research scholars and students, not only buy books for their own use but also recommend books for procurement by the IIMI Library. The publishers will get a good opportunity to interact directly with the IIMI community & with other educational Institutions who will be visiting the Management Book Fair.

The Management Book Fair will also facilitates the meeting of the publishers with IIM Indore authority and IIMI Library members to discuss and address the issues pertaining to smooth process of acquisition of books for the Library.

Theme
While the participating publishers and suppliers used to bring textbooks and reference books in the areas of Business, Management, Economics, Organizations Behavior, HRM, Accounting & Finance, Operations, Marketing & Social Sciences & we have urged them to also bring books in the areas covered under Center of Excellence of IIM Indore. These Center of Excellence are:
· Center for SMEs
· Center for Indian Multinationals Education and Research
· Center for Retail Education and Management
· Center for Media Management
· Center for Manufacturing Excellence

We have also requested the publishers to bring books related to works of Nobel Laureates and works of Celebrated Indian Leaders. Since the library has a good collection of reference and textbooks published up to 2005, publishers have been requested to bring books published in 2006 to 2008.

We have requested the publishers to bring books on literature, fiction, philosophy, and books of interest for the children, who usually constitute a large part of the visitors to the Book Fair.
